Lyrics

Oh wake me please when this is overOh when the ice is melted awayAnd the hunger returnsI will feel the same but olderAnd I'll be twice the man that I thought I wasWhere have you been?And what have you done?I've been under the groundReading prayers from this old book I foundUnder the groundSaving it upAnd spending it allOn moving picturesSilent filmsMoving picturesSilent filmsOh is this the dream I've been saving?Oh where the heart beats slower and slowerTo almost nothingAlmost nothingAlmost nothingI took care for longerAt least something beautifulOut there in the spotlightBut turned around softlyTurned around squintingIt's all they heard was headlightsAnd then the truthThe truth was unbearableOh and iminentBearing down on these two shadowed animalsCalled painting a dotted lineCalled painting a dotted lineWhere have you been?And what have you done?I've been under the groundReading prayers from this old book I foundUnder the groundSaving it upAnd spending it allOn moving picturesSilent filmsMoving picturesSilent films
